Im 16 and i do kickboxing for only a couple of months now but i really enjoy it =P also was wondering if theres any other good martial art or excercise that can help tone you up? thanks =)

I am 29 and a trainer of my on school my 2 main styles are kickboxing and wrestling that I have been training in since 5 years old I do other styles such as boxing,jui jitsu,and muay thai i hope to learn more stuff to help with my training

Tae kwon do for about five years. I'm a first degree black belt. Had major back surgery and am a year and 9 months out. I need to find a way to get fit again and hopefully retain much of what I have learned of tkd. I'm not supposed to practice anymore, but I feel that some training would be ok. Any advice?

I'm 35. Always been interested in martial arts. Started with Aikido as a kid and then experimented with many others. I've settled into Shinto Ryu MMA. @angie: I compressed my lumbar 1 vertibrae when I was 17 and was told not to train in any martial art or other remotely contact or impact sport. I got very depressed. I eventually went to my GP and was told that the specialists were being over cautious. That My spine was strong but I had to be careful. Weigh up the options and risks. Don't over do it. I was told to avoid the Judo/Aikido rolling throwing stuff and stay to the styles that you can kick someones head in. lol. It was after this that I became even more involved with martial arts. I know instruct in a Mixed Martial Art and do all the head kicking I can, however I have decided that my back can handle the throwing and rolling too. So far so good. I believe you can't live in fear but you have to break into it slowly and carefully. :)

Angie, talk to your physical therapist, and work to design a program that will work for you. Just about every legend in the martial arts has battled some sort of " handicap". Bruce Lee, Bill Wallace, etc.
How much you can do , has alot to do with what you believe you are capable of doing. Good Luck

ANGIE get a copy of Joe Hyams book "Zen in the Martial Arts". I think you will find it helpful.

Thanks all for the comments! It has been so hard for me not to have martial arts in my life for the last two years. I loved it and it gave me something to look forward to after the end of a hard day. I have been thinking about going back despite what my surgeon said. I think I may have found a new instructor in my area and have been considering approaching him. Life is good, martial arts just made it that much better... oh yeah, I think he was also a chiropractor in Korea. ;)

I always aproach an instructor witht the details and tell them what you want. They can be quite accomodating when it comes to injuries and a true martial art should be adaptable to anyone whether in a wheel chair, leg missing or back injury. Good luck. Have fun and let me know how you get on.

Sounds like this guy you found could be good though. :)

Thanks Combat, I will do that. It's time for me to stop being afraid and venture back. I will keep you posted.

I want to get the Six Pack Abs, would you please help me out with some good exercises please?

Budo Taijutsu

The recipe for 6-pack abs starts & ends with sound nutrition but in order to set them free you must marinade the mix with some precise cardio.

I've had about a year of Wingchun, finished the sil-lim-tao form. I was younger and quit for lack of patience but noticed how much of a positive impact it had on my life so I plan on finding another school. I think it's a beautiful fighting art that includes many realistic applications.
